Pregnant? A Celeb Facialist Wants You to Start Doing This to Your Skin

When it comes to how your complexion might change, Joss is honest about what you can expect. “The skin can become very dryand super sensitive—as well as congested and disrupted,” she explained. “As a result, this can cause spots, acne, inflammation and heightened redness, [which] for many women who have always had clear and easy to manage skin … can be a bit of a surprise and a challenge.”

Even after you’ve given birth, there can be an adjustment period as your skin settles back into its usual routine. “The skin can take up to 12 months post-pregnancy to rebalance, advised Joss, “so if your skin is sensitive, try to stick to clean gentle skincare for the first few months after.”
